since they could no longer broadcast shows from either promotion. Following the end of WCW Blondin continued to be involved in Canadian wrestling in Quebec and Eastern Canada. In 2001, Blondin made several appearances for Jacques Rougeau, Jr.'s Lutte International 2000. During its June 1 show at the Auditorium de Verdun, Blondin addressed the 3,500 crowd with Jacques Rougeau's son Cedric opening for the professional debut 12-year-old Jean Jacques Rougeau, another of Jacques' sons, against midget wrestler Little Broken. The previous month, he had appeared at a press conference with the Jacques Rougeau, Sr. and the rest of the Rougeau family to promote the event and gave a speech on the Rougeau's contributions to Canadian professional wrestling. In 2004 Blondin became the French language announcer for TNA Impact! with Pierre-Carl Ouellette at the RDS studios, later joined by Sylvain Grenier and Jean-François Kelly.
